A Dumfries dad has raised more than £35,000 for The Brain Tumour Charity as he prepares to walk the Southern Upland Way for a cause close to his heart.
Widower Alan Johnstone will start the 214-mile trek on Friday, June 10, to honour his late wife Anneka who died of a glioblastoma brain tumour in November 2019 at the age of 33 just six months after her diagnosis.
The 37-year-old told the Standard the challenge will be tough but nothing compared to what Anneka went through.
